Calling Name & Number
How To Use:
1.
When you receive a call, wait until your tele-
phone completes the first ringing signal.
2.
The telephone number calling you—and
the name associated with that number in
telephone company records—will auto-
matically appear on your display screen.
3.
If you choose to answer the call, the name
and number will remain on the screen until
you or the caller hangs up.
Notes:
•
Subscription to Calling Name and Number
service requires the lease or purchase of a
display telephone or an add-on display unit.
•
If a letter “P” or “Private” appears on your
display after the first ring, the caller may
have blocked the display of their name and
number by
pressing *67
(or dialing 1167
on a rotary phone) before placing the call.
You can choose whether or not to answer
the call.
•
If “unknown name,” “unknown number,”
“out of area” or “0” appears, the caller is
in an area that does not support Calling
Numbers services.

•
You must
dial *67
before each call you
place. Otherwise your phone number will be
